They were finalists in the Britain’s Got Talent (some say that they were the outright winners!) and though a certain member of the panel originally tried to have them split up, they stuck to their guns and stayed together, ultimately winning that panel member over in the end. Now they release their debut album, Together.
Opening with the well known The Prayer a song that they performed but at their audition and in the final, but this time joined with fellow Britain's Got Talent participants Only Boys Aloud. Caruso comes up next followed by Vero Amore (Your Song) . The ever popular Ave Maria comes up next, and somehow you can't help think that the album wouldn't be right without it, and even Jonathan manages to showcase a gentler voice than has been heard up until this point.
A take on Muse's Unintended, entitled Forse follows along with Take That's Rule The World (Ill Mondo e Nostro) (first recorded by Camilla Kerslake. Another operatic track called Canto Della Terra brings it back to the classical side of things before three well known pop songs are given the classical treatment ( Ognuno Soffre (Everybody Hurts), Chi Mai Vivra Per Sempre? (Who Wants To Live Forever) and La Prima Volta (The First Time I Saw Your Face))
The long list is interesting in that whilst there is a selection of pop tracks they aren't just covers. They are given a classical twist so possibly bringing them to another audience. It's hard to believe that these two are only 17 years old. A safe but probably strong song list. Hopefully it's not the only album that the pair get to release, but it would be good to see them not fall into the typical songs expected from someone in their genres.
Rating: 4/5
